[ Riku's sitting in the kitchen, but she couldn't tell you why. She's not in the mood to be around people, and she's not eating; the only thing in front of her is the half-empty cup of coffee she's staring at. Her head rests across one of her arms on the table, and her hair's hiding most of her face. For those that can sense it, the darkness in her heart is a lot stronger than normal. Nothing overwhelming, but it's noticeable. ]

[...Well, he's not going to say anything when he enters the kitchen, heading for the fridge to grab something to snack on that isn't his usual stuff.]

[dawnrise]

[She's startled by him appearing, and lifts her head up- then promptly drops it with an irritated look.]

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

[That's almost enough to get him to crack a grin, but he holds it back for the most part as he digs out someone's leftover cake.]

[dawnrise]

[Good thing. Not that she'd notice if he did, as she's not looking at him. Her gaze is centered on that cup of coffee.]

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

[Hopping up onto the counter to enjoy this lovely chocolate cake now.]

So what's the problem?

[dawnrise]

[Tilts her head to look at him, but doesn't lift it.]

What problem?

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

Something has to be bothering you. Have you even noticed all that darkness hanging off you?

[dawnrise]

[Tch. Back to the coffee.]

I haven't had the best week.

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, January. Apparently that was an eventful month.

[dawnrise]

[Nevermind. She's looking at him again, very closely, trying to figure out what he's talking about. He can't possibly know.]

'Apparently'?

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

I wasn't around for much of it myself, so all my knowledge of the spells and things that went on is secondhand.

[dawnrise]

[Since he's brought it up...]

Where were you?

*look! it's your favorite person! his arm is still bandaged up, but it's not in the sling today which makes him happy; all that stops when he notices your eau de Darkness*

... Riku-pi?

[dawnrise]

[Hooray, improvement! Riku doesn't move at first, then glances his way, not lifting her head.]

Hey.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Are you alright?

*he goes to sit in the chair next to yours, looking concerned*

[dawnrise]

Yeah. Just tired.

[Liar liar.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Tired doesn't make you smell like you rolled through the Corridors of Darkness. Did you have bad dreams?

[dawnrise]

Maybe.

[Sure, she'll admit it. The one time it's not the problem.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Which means that isn't it, because if you really had bad dreams, you'd claw tooth and nail to not admit it.

[dawnrise]

[Looks back at the coffee, smirking briefly. She's not surprised he caught that.]

There's no point in denying it when it happens all the time.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Well then, what's bothering you this time? And your coffee is cold. It must be gross.

[dawnrise]

[Wrinkles her nose.]

It was gross before.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

You're just not making it the right way. And don't change the subject.

[ He was entering the kitchen for a snack of his own, hands stuffed into the pockets of his jeans. He does... pause, in the doorway, though. He doesn't like the feeling of that darkness, or the fact that there's another Riku there. Seems like when he meets another, they just antagonize, and he's really not in the mood... but it's not like he'll get less hungrier. He goes inside, avoiding looking at her. ]

[dawnrise]

[He won't have to worry about this one antagonizing him - she prefers to ignore any Riku she sees, and won't be reacting to his presence at all.]
